My Running
MARC is...
The owner of a 2:58:31 marathon PR (Chicago 2017)
Dead certain he'll beat his PR or sadly resigned to the fact his fastest days are behind him (nothing exists between these extremes)
Most nostalgic about the 2016 New York City Marathon (his first sub-3)
Eager to trade stories with anyone who finished the 2018 Boston Marathon
A former college baseball player turned marathoner who imagines playing inside Fenway Park when he runs outside it on Marathon Monday
In awe of fast runners, epic race courses, extreme weather, beautiful locations, selfless race volunteers, and life-affirming sunrises
